8:50 pm
within a matter of weeks, she was invited to an exclusive 120-seat gala dinner for barack obama in honor of his first visit to israel as president. first of all, i am very excited to meet the two presidents, president shimon peres and president obama. they invited me because of a historical significance. for the first time, an ethiopian is representing israel and he was the first african american that was chosen to lead a super power. her new international star- status comes at a time that israel is facing criticism over its treatment of some one hundred thousand ethiopian jews who have immigrated to the country since the 1980s. in january, thousands took to the streets, protesting their difficulties attaining citizenship and all the privileges that go with it. i can overturn those stereotypes of being dark- skinned, ethiopian and other racist things. everything. it's not just in israel. we are talking about the whole world. it's something that exists and if i can change it i am going
8:51 pm
to try a hundred times over. an orphan, yityish relocated to israel to be with her grandparents when she was 12. obama has been one of her idols almost ever since. i did a research project about him in high school, and i know he is a very powerful man; charismatic, and he achieved a lot on his own by virtue of the fact that he believed in himself, and this stuck with me. as miss israel 2013, there will be ceremonies and appearances galore for yityish this year. i was chosen but because i made history as the first ethiopian. i feel i have to prove myself. i don't want to disappoint people that chose me. there are those gaps that exist not just in israel but in the whole world. still, she's determined not to let fame get the best of her. i tried to remain who i am and not imitate other things or people because that is the easiest thing to do. the easiest thing to do is to look at others and try and be like them. i will do my very best and i will do it my way. yityish often talks of her previous life as a child walking barefoot in ethiopia and the changes she discovered in herself on her first visit back to her homeland. i stood there as a girl who had finished the israeli army as an officer and thought, how much a person can go through in nine, ten years? i learned a new language and culture. i've been to good places. i enlisted and trained people and return as a totally different person.
